ML Boatworks- International Hobbies Seebold Tunnel Sport kit- build thread

[Mike Luszcz]

The 50" Seebold Tunnel cowling has been added to the website under replacement cowlings. I will be adding the full 50" kit to the site soon. I have to scan and draw some of the sheeting in CAD first. Thanks, Mike

The 38" will be available very soon too.

Where is that LIKE button at again

 

[Mike Luszcz]

Lol, Thanks Andy, Hopefully I can get that 38" version wrapped up soon. Just been very very busy on tons of different projects lately!

 

[Erick Adams]

Looking really good!!! Can't hardly wait for the 38"!!

 

[OtisHelmke]

I'd be very interested in the 38" kit. what is the price going to be?

[Mike Luszcz]

Not sure yet Rick. Just got things straight with Ken from Amps for the licensing of these two sizes, so I am going to proceed getting the 38" cowling plug finished up and mold made, and they will be ready. I am also working on a Merc Champ cover for the MHZ size outboard for the 50" tunnel. I am sizing down one from my Performance International Molds, so there is stil la lot to smooth out, but the base shape works. Here are some pics of that:

Gday Mike
Mate how big are these cowls would a Zenoah fit under one??

 

[Mike Luszcz]

Brad, They should hold a Zenoah. Sorry for the late reply.

 

[Mike Luszcz]

After this being put on the back burner, the 38" cowling plug will begin being a mold tonight. This will finish up the 38" and 50" versions. Now if I can find time to finish the prototype builds!

 

[Mike Luszcz]

Tooling gel and skin coat done. Heavy layers begin tonight:

 

[Mike Luszcz]

So the 38 and 50" Seebolds cowling molds are done! Both turned out great. Mike

 

[Mike Luszcz]

It's about time to offer up both the 38" and 50" kits, now that the 38" mold is done, and the first cowling pulled! Here are some pics! Mike

 

[Mike Luszcz]

Both sizes side by side! Sweet pair!

Nice job on the cowls Mike as usual!! Bob's 310 is coming along great as you can see and this was another great build from your kits and designing!!! Fits were excellent as usual, my only question was why the extra slot in the sponsons?? Is your new outboard up on your website yet?

Brad

 

[Mike Luszcz]

Brad, I could have sworn I sent you a message about that slot. I think that was a cutting error as I had one in mine if I remember right. I just filled it with some epoxy once the sponson was together. Nothing major, thank goodness. The new outboard tunnels will be listed very soon! Mike

Mike,

i just got two MHZ OB drive legs, one for Gas with clutch and the other for FE, fit for your FB motor Cowl.

Can the Gas drive fit for your 50" kit ? If so, Like to have one.

Gilbert

 

[Mike Luszcz]

Gilbert, yes the gas drive will fit this hull just fine. Its the same size as the FE drive MHZ sells, so physically it fits fine! I will send you a PM asap about the kit.
